Unravelling mycotoxin biotransformation by the black soldier fly and house fly
Kelly Niermans
Abstract:Novel protein sources for animal feed are needed, and the use of insects as feed ingredient is explored. The insect production sector offers opportunities for a circular and sustainable approach to feed production by upgrading waste-or side streams into high-quality proteins.However, potential food or feed safety issues should be studied in advance. Mycotoxins, such as aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), are natural contaminants commonly found in agricultural crops and have proven to be detrimental to the agricultural indust… Show more
